Hot damn, that AC is great. Mine would have been better had I not rolled so horribly.

D&D 5E: Dungeon of the Mad Mage

Aurix

Hexblade Warlock

Background Outline

Aurix was kidnapped by drow and taken to the Underdark as a slave where she would be used for a myriad of different things. Largely, she was used for labor throughout most of her child life, but she came of age things changed as she became used for entertainment purposes, gladiatorial or otherwise. However, it was her natural will to survive that allowed her to carry on as she feasted on the corpses of her fallen opponents or whatever the drow would give her as a treat of good work.

It was not until she found a cursed blade that she would believe that she would have the power to free herself. She found it as her handlers took her to another drow settlement to fight and serve more. It promised her power to free herself so long as she would wield the spirit of the weapon in battle for the rest of her life. Being a being whose primary focus was on survival, she agreed and was bestowed magical powers thanks to her newfound blade, the Cryptic Eye. In that moment, Aurix found her chance to escape, breaking free from her handlers and fleeing into the belly of the Underdark.

The magic that her patron had given her, she found that she had become the predator and the drow had become her prey as those who sought to recapture her soon found themselves at her mercy. Mercy was something that Aurix lacked and she will openly talk of how she devoured those who begged for their lives for they had become food at that point. After much time, Aurix escaped the Underdark, leaving the torture of her previous life behind her before stumbling across a town.

Aurix was an alien, lizardfolk hardly left their swamps and if they did it was normal to find new sources of food which made the locals skeptical of her presence. She found adjusting to the surface difficult, being detached from emotions drove people away and made the braver feel uneasy so it became increasingly difficult to find work for food.

I just took the average, I’m not risking rolling incredibly low as a front liner.

Don't most Tortles die like a year after they mate? This is an important question.

I still need to come up a backstory and overall personality for my character, though I have a rough outline of how she is
